I'm curious where Mahomes would be without the 2nd half/OT of Bengals.
As far as the graph goes
1) PFF grades for the Y axis ?
2) Circle size is supposed to represent # of plays? How does Jimmy G have such a small circle with 3 games ?

TD would have counted and the 15 yards would've been enforced on either the PAT or the kickoff
ARTICLE 9. DEAD BALL FOUL AND FOUL BETWEEN DOWNS
A Dead Ball Foul is a foul that occurs in the continuing action after a down ends, or a taunting foul that occurs at any time. The penalty for a Dead Ball Foul is enforced from the succeeding spot, and the down counts.

I 100% disagree that there is a "massive difference." For starters, 3 timeouts vs. 1 is significant. And KC traveled roughly the same distance, in just a few more seconds. They were down to the NE 20 with just under 20 seconds left (had they had one of those extra timeouts that they did against us, they would have called one and probably won w/ a TD).
The situations are almost exactly comparable.
What's your definition of "massive difference" ? KC traveled 48 yards in 16 seconds vs Patriots. Those "few more seconds" would've literally changed the outcome of the Bills game.
It's not that uncommon to see ~30 second FG drives to end games. It's unprecedented to see a 13 second FG drive like that

He's a great player, but no I wouldn't want to trade for him.
We'd lose out on draft capital and have to give him a massive contract.
If we're chasing after WRs I'd rather try to sign UFAs like Godwin or Adams.

Belichick actually gave up a very similar drive in the 2018 AFCCG. Mahomes went 50 yards in 18 seconds, 2 passes just like our game. The only difference was that NE won the coin toss.
BB has had some head-scratchers. Not sure how many remember that he went for it on 4th & 13 in FG range in the '07 SB against the Giants. Benching Welker for the 1st quarter against the Jets in the playoffs, which probably cost them another SB chance. His defense against us in the 2nd regular regular season game this year was inexplicable, and he didn't adjust. And then his defense last week was absolutely terrible.
He's a great coach - but not infallible.
Similar in that it was the last drive of regulation I guess.
There's a massive difference between getting the ball at your own 31 with 32 seconds (1 TO left) compared to getting the ball at your own 25 with 13 seconds (3 TO left) and needing 3 points to tie.
I'll also note that Mahomes made 2 exceptional plays vs Patriots, and 2 absolutely routine plays vs Bills.

I agree with most of your list there.
Think I'd swap O-line and CB importance (O-line to 2 and CB to 3).
I'd remove TE depth from the list and replace it with WR depth (assuming Beasley & Sanders are gone). TE2 is just not important in today's NFL and if both WRs leave we'll need someone after Diggs/Davis.
-
We never covered Hill & Kelce effectively anyway. If they're both going to shred us regardless maybe we're better off committing an extra guy to spying on Mahomes to take away his legs on the 3rd and longs.

I think it's a little ironic how much Sullivan gets dumped on around here with how many "Fire X,Y, and Z" posts we see after every loss. Yes, he's critical of our favorite team, but he's also fair. This article is no exception.

Can you fair catch a kick that is bouncing along the ground?
If they flop on top of the ball and "give themselves up" or just kneel it down it'll function the same as a fair catch. Maybe 1-2 seconds off the clock

I’m really wondering if McDermott had a full-on brain freeze and thought the Chiefs were either out of time outs or were down by more than 3… something went seriously wrong. There are high school football coaches who would’ve coached better situationally there. It is shocking.
Different sports obviously but it reminds me of this
Bills meltdown is probably worse given we took timeouts to setup our defense on those last 2 plays
-
There's not much we can do about LB next year.
Edmunds active cap hit is 12.7mm and if we cut/trade him his dead cap is 12.7mm
Milanos active cap hit is 10mm and if we cut/trade him his dead cap is also 12.7mm (or 9.2mm post June 1st)

if we kick to the 5 , let them kneel on it.
obviously not
Someone doesn't understand statistics

I actually like the non-squib kick decision.
If your opponent has the ball at their own 25 yard line with 13 seconds left down by 3, you have like a 99.9% chance of winning the game.
All you have to do is not give up 50 yards on 2 plays.

It wasn't that Bojo had a punt blocked- it's that he muffled a hold on an easy field goal that blocked.
Haack had a terrible game a few weeks ago and got ripped. Seemed kind of silly to get a punter whose specialty was holding. However here we are- maybe Bean was right and knew something after all!?
Let's see tonight- Go Bills!
Couldn't disagree with you more. Bojo had the perfect hold on the blocked FG. The problem was the untouched 49er player.

Cowboys have made the playoffs 11 times since '96 without making it to the conference finals.
11 playoff appearances without making the conference finals is the longest such streak in the NFL

To me Super Bowl or bust would only apply in extreme circumstances.
It would have to be a combination of the teams window closing (aging QB, bad contracts, aging coach, trading draft picks) and high expectations (think '07 Patriots).
Doesn't apply to the Bills unless we're extrapolating expectations from that beat down against the Patriots and ignoring the regular season.

Does the Athletic not grade punters ?
Haack deserved a straight F and didn't even make their bottom 5.
Even if you want to curve his grade based on the conditions he still deserved a bottom 5 grade.

NFLs YouTube channel already nicknamed him the winter soldier which I think is pretty great
Winter Soldier is a much better nickname for him than Angel of Death.
Although it would be pretty funny if the stadium started playing some Slayer every time Josh has a big play.

“(Haack) is coming on nicely, as far as punting. He’s been unbelievable for Bass. He is the best caddie, as I call him, in the league as far as he’s an elite holder. That helps Bass be who he is. He’s a big brother to him. And he’s coaching him up and helping him out. He has a great feel for everything. We just love him in the room. I can’t say enough good things about him,” Farwell said.
https://billswire.usatoday.com/2022/01/12/what-sean-mcdermott-said-about-bills-punter-matt-haack/
I saw some people on Reddit throwing around the "elite holder" comment and I have to flat out disagree.
The baseline expectation for a place holder is to make it through the year with no fumbled snaps or issues facing the laces. That's AVERAGE. There's no such thing as an "elite" place holder.
I think the issue is we went from Bojorquez, by far the worst holder in the league, to Haack. People only think Haack is elite at holding because Bojo was so terrible at it.
700k deadcap if we cut Haack after this season. I'd be surprised if we don't have a different punter come week 1 2022.

I think this is a very good take from Florio and it addresses the real issue: a bad, absentee owner: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/01/10/absentee-ownership-directly-contributes-to-weird-outcomes-like-the-firing-of-brian-flores/
If Ross were in the building every day, talking to his head coach on a face-to-face basis repeatedly, he’d be
in a much better position to assess where and how and when blame should be placed and changes should be made. the next Dan Snyder being accused of being too hands on and interfering with the football people making football decisions. -
Daboll has the bad habit of calling way too many passing plays in high winds, and abandoning the run when it's actually working.
We had 20 straight passing plays (18 pass attempts, 2 JA scrambles)! In a game where the wind was having an obvious effect on QBs and punters.
Very reminiscent of the Ravens playoff game.

Dolphins have gone 19-14 over the last 2 seasons with a combination of Fitz/Tua/Brisket at QB.
I think Flores had them overperform their talent level and I'm surprised they fired him.

I had a good chuckle at this part
21. Incredibly, this was not Mr. Flores’ first sham interview that was held only in an effort to comply with the Rooney Rule. Indeed, in 2019 Mr. Flores was scheduled to interview with the Denver Broncos. However, the Broncos’ then-General Manager, John Elway, President and Chief Executive Officer Joe Ellis and others, showed up an hour late to the interview. They looked completely disheveled, and it was obvious that they had drinking heavily the night before. It was clear from the substance of the interview that Mr. Flores was interviewed only because of the Rooney Rule, and that the Broncos never had any intention to consider him as a legitimate candidate for the job. Shortly thereafter, Vic Fangio, a white man, was hired to be the Head Coach of the Broncos.
I am not a lawyer, but I don't see how Flores could win this. Unless people in Miami/NYG ownership were stupid enough to send an email saying "We're not hiring Flores because he's black". Teams are free to hire/fire whomever they want.
I wonder if the league's response to this would be to nix the Rooney Rule ?
